SUMMARY:Book Signing: Eric Jackson-Forsberg
DESCRIPTION:About the book: \nHolden Maddox is a curator haunted by his pursuit of the truth. His esoteric study of Frank Lloyd Wright design and his attempts to sort out his shadowy\, small-town past are irresistible obsessions. Driven by a desire to reconstruct his personal history and forge a future for himself\, Holden is drawn into a mystery surrounding two pieces of art glass\, artifacts with convoluted roots much older and deeper than he knows. Uncanny forces-from the far reaches of the solar system to the Brooklyn Bridge-complicate the quest in ways that defy his imagination\, test his resolve\, and bend the laws of physics.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: Lia Pearson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book signing with local author\, Lia Pearson! \nAbout the book: \n“I wasn’t supposed to survive—let alone become her.” \nBecoming Her is a raw\, soul-baring memoir of one woman’s journey through unspeakable abuse\, abandonment\, betrayal\, and loss… and how she rose from the ashes to become a mother\, a warrior\, and a woman of unshakable faith. \nBorn into chaos and raised in silence\, Lia was just a little girl when her innocence was stolen. Shuffled between broken homes\, shelters\, and shattered promises\, she learned to keep surviving. But surviving isn’t the same as living—and it certainly isn’t the same as healing. \nThis isn’t just another trauma story. It’s a testimony. \nWith vulnerability and grit\, Lia takes you deep into the darkest seasons of her life—from abusive relationships and one-night stands that left her empty\, to the gut-wrenching loneliness of young motherhood. But just when everything seemed too broken to fix\, God stepped in. \nBecoming Her is not about having the perfect life. It’s about learning how to fight for peace. To choose forgiveness. To rewrite the script. It’s about healing in the presence of Jesus\, and finding strength where the world told you there was only shame. \nIf you’ve ever felt like giving up\, like you were too damaged to be loved\, this book is for you. Lia’s story will remind you that beauty really can come from ashes—and that with God\, your story isn’t over. \nYou’re not just surviving. You’re becoming.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: Anchored by Kenneth J Erickson
DESCRIPTION:Order Here: https://goodneighborbooks.com/book/9798999657701 \nABOUT THE BOOK:What do we leave behind when the noise quiets and the dust settles? For Dr. Erickson\, a devoted father\, health professional\, and reflective teacher\, the answer is simply this: we leave behind who we are\, how we lived\, and what we stood for.Anchored is more than a book\, it’s a heartfelt offering. Written as a legacy for his sons\, Dr. Erickson shares the lessons that shaped his life. Insights earned through personal failures and triumphs\, drawn from history\, philosophy\, and the raw wisdom of lived experience. Each chapter is grounded in timeless principles\, emotional intelligence\, values-based decision making\, resilience and leadership and concludes with a deeply personal reflection titled From Father to Son.But this book isn’t just for his sons.It’s for anyone who has ever asked themselves\, What truly matters?It’s for those navigating change\, wrestling with uncertainty\, or longing for clarity and direction.It’s for readers who value truth over trend\, and depth over distraction.Whether you’re a parent\, a seeker\, or simply someone trying to live with more intention and integrity\, Anchored offers a compass: steady\, honest\, and enduring.
